I tried that too, no luck. The RamFAST works fine in a ROM 1, so I was able
to copy the files to floppy and format a hard disk, then try both the floppy
and hard disk on my ROM 3 IIgs's. I just get various error messages and
lockups. The initial message about taking 45 seconds to search for hard
disks works, sometimes when that time expires the message remains, but
instead of a bold-looking font it switches to a skinny font. Sometimes it
just freezes with that message. Sometimes I get into the setup screen, but
it gives that "MLI error" message and crashes.
